Couldn`t you have taken better photos drew,it would make it easier to ID.And how is anyone supposed to ID a fish from the size :roll:
Next time you could even try counting the beards,1...2...3 etc etc :lol:
Shore rockling is dark with light spots,three bearded is light with dark spots.My guess is shore rockling,but there has been a few five bearded caught at the Dee this year,they are generaly a bit paler than shores and would almost always fall to worm baits.
We were down on sunday night and only had about 10 fish most of them were tiny cod.
